Last night was Little Opera‘s fist annual gala, in which professional adult singers performed an opera completely written and composed by kids. This was thoroughly successful. In addition to the performance, we set up an improvised photo booth featuring the inimitable Polaroid peel apart film …

This might be the best thing I’ve ever printed. Details about this project are on this pdf. In case it isn’t obvious, this is a site specific children’s toy/word art installation. The tiles are interchangeable by row. I made eighteen tiles for each column (not …

This year I took a literal approach to San Francisco Open Studios and held it in my studio. Plenty of interesting people showed up and I got some good work done, too. Joel B. and Meztli, if you are reading this: thank you. (I first …
